What’s For Dinner? Low Carb Sides – Curly Kale with Garlic & Linguica

We’ve been really into salads as sides lately to keep the carbs down at night. This is one of the easiest sides and my husband loves it! And, yes…once again it has linguica, but you can also keep this vegan and use garlic and some crushed red pepper. We’ve done Swiss chard with shallots, beet greens with onions and a splash of champagne vinegar, as well as shaved Brussels sprouts. All are sides that high in nutrients and fiber, but low in calories and carbohydrate.
